{{main|feng shui}}
In the 19th century, [[Christianity in China|Christian missionaries]] in China translated ''[[feng shui]]'' as "geomancy" due to their observations of local [[shamans]] and [[priests]] manipulating the flow and direction of [[Qi|energy]] based on aesthetics, location, and position of objects and buildings.  Although it stems from a distinct tradition, the term ''geomancy'' now commonly includes feng shui.  Similarly, the introduction of a similar Indian system of aesthetics and positioning to harmonize the local energies, ''[[vastu shastra]]'', has come under the name "geomancy".
